Peacock Basses Invade Mandai Pond

Mandai Pond is Different Now

YY wanted to go fishing. Coincidentally Uncle Chui called and said his friend will be going to his secret spot.

But the fishes were not biting like before. I could only get a red tilapia after many casts. After some time, I discovered the reason why. A pair of 2-foot Peacock Basses chased the tilapias away from where we were fishing.

Now, how did the Peacock Basses get here. They were nowhere in sight when I was here a few months back. Now the local bettas and the chocolate gouramis will disappear too.
